Page 6 Mexco Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Nature of Operations Mexco Energy Corporation (a Colorado corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Forman Energy Corporation (a New York corporation), Southwest Texas Disposal Corporation (a Texas corporation) and TBO Oil & Gas, LLC (a Texas limited liability company) (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas, condensate and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). Most of the Company’s oil and gas interests are centered in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico; however, the Company owns producing properties and undeveloped acreage in fourteen states. All of the Company’s oil and gas interests are operated by others. 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mexco Energy Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions associated with the consolidated operations have been eliminated. Estimates and Assumptions . In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management is required to make informed judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, significant estimates are used in determining proved oil and gas reserves. Although management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The estimate of the Company’s oil and natural gas reserves, which is used to compute depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment of oil and gas properties, is the most significant of the estimates and assumptions that affect these reported results. Interim Financial Statements . In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the Company’s 2024 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in more detail in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. However, the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K. Investments . The Company accounts for investments of less than 3% in any limited liability companies at cost . The Company has no control of the limited liability companies. The cost of the investment is recorded as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets and when income from the investment is received, it is immediately recognized on the consolidated statements of operations. 3. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to the plugging of wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recorded in the period in which it is incurred, discounted to its present value using the credit adjusted risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period until the liability is settled or the well is sold, at which time the liability is removed. The related asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of our oil and natural gas properties. The ARO is included on the consolidated balance sheets with the current portion being included in the accounts payable and other accrued expenses. Page 7 The following table provides a rollforward of the AROs for the first six months of fiscal 2025: Schedule of Rollforward of Asset Retirement Obligations Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of April 1, 2024 $ 718,808 Liabilities incurred 1,372 Liabilities settled ( 12,375 ) Accretion expense 15,524 Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of September 30, 2024 723,329 Less: Current portion 30,000 Non-Current asset retirement obligation $ 693,329 4. Long Term Debt On December 28, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) with West Texas National Bank (“WTNB”), which originally provided for a credit facility of $ 1,000,000 with a maturity date of December 28, 2021 . The Agreement has no monthly commitment reduction and a borrowing base to be evaluated annually. On February 28, 2020, the Agreement was amended to increase the credit facility to $ 2,500,000 , extend the maturity date to March 28, 2023 and increase the borrowing base to $ 1,500,000 . On March 28, 2023, the Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to March 28, 2026 . Under the Agreement, interest on the facility accrues at a rate equal to the prime rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus one-half of one percent ( 0.5 %) floating daily. Interest on the outstanding amount under the Agreement is payable monthly. In addition, the Company will pay an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) times the daily average of the unadvanced amount of the commitment . The unused commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. As of September 30, 2024, there was $ 1,500,000 available for borrowing by the Company on the facility. No principal payments are anticipated to be required through the maturity date of the credit facility, March 28, 2026 . Upon closing the second amendment to the Agreement, the Company paid a loan origination fee of $ 9,000 plus legal and recording expenses totaling $ 12,950 , which were deferred over the life of the credit facility. Amounts borrowed under the Agreement are collateralized by the common stock of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas properties. The Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type including limitations on change in control, disposition of assets, mergers and reorganizations. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the Agreement and requires senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratios (Senior Debt/EBITDA) less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 measured with respect to the four trailing quarters and minimum interest coverage ratios (EBITDA/Interest Expense) of 2.00 to 1.00 for each quarter. In addition, this Agreement prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends on its common stock without written permission of WTNB. The Company obtained written permission from WTNB prior to declaring the regular annual dividend on April 30, 2024 as discussed in Note 10. The Agreement does not permit the Company to enter into hedge agreements covering crude oil and natural gas prices without prior WTNB approval. There was no balance outstanding on the line of credit as of September 30, 2024. 5. Stock-based Compensation The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $ 51,630 and $ 58,848 in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 104,069 and $ 113,823 , respectively. The total cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized at September 30, 2024 totals $ 381,743 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.04 years. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, no stock options were granted. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved and the Company granted 32,000 stock options exercisable at $ 12.68 per share with an estimated fair value of $ 279,360 . These options are exercisable at a price not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant, have an exercise period of ten years and generally vest over four years . Page 8 Included in the following table is a summary of the grant-date fair value of stock options granted and the related assumptions used in the Binomial models for stock options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. All such amounts represent the weighted average amounts.

The Company received proceeds of $ 77,641 from these exercises. During the six months ended September 30, 2023, stock options covering 500 shares were exercised with a total intrinsic value of $ 2,416 . The Company received proceeds of $ 2,962 from these exercises. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, 1,875 unvested stock options and 625 vested stock options were forfeited due to the resignation of an employee. There were no stock options forfeited or expired during the six months ended September 30, 2023. No forfeiture rate is assumed for stock options granted to directors or employees due to the forfeiture rate history of these types of awards. Outstanding options at September 30, 2024 expire between September 2028 and April 2033 and have exercise prices ranging from $ 3.34 to $ 18.05 . 6. Leases The Company leases approximately 4,160 rentable square feet of office space from an unaffiliated third party for our corporate office located in Midland, Texas. This includes 702 square feet of office space shared with and paid by our majority shareholder. In June 2024, the Company agreed to re-extend its lease at a flat (unescalated) rate for another 36 months. The amended lease now expires on July 31, 2027 . The Company determines an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right-of-use asset, operating lease liability, current, and operating lease liability, long-term on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate used at adoption of the renewal was 9 %. Significant judgement is required when determining the incremental borrowing rate. Rent expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Page 9 The balance sheets classification of lease assets and liabilities was as follows: Schedule of Operating Lease Assets and Liabilities September 30, 2024 Assets Operating lease right-of-use asset, beginning balance $ 19,263 Current period amortization ( 26,974 ) Lease extension 158,073 Total operating lease right-of-use asset $ 150,362 Liabilities Operating lease liability, current $ 48,767 Operating lease liability, long term 101,595 Total lease liabilities $ 150,362 Future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2023 under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows: Schedule of Future Minimum Lease Payments Lease Obligation Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025 $ 30,160 Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026 60,320 Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2027 60,320 Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2028 20,107 Total lease payments $ 170,907 Less: imputed interest ( 20,545 ) Operating lease liability 150,362 Less: operating lease liability, current ( 48,767 ) Operating lease liability, long term $ 101,595 Net cash paid for our operating lease for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $ 22,580 .

Income Taxes On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”). The IRA 2022, among other tax provisions, imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on corporations with book financial statement income in excess of $1.0 billion, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA 2022 also establishes a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for stock repurchases in excess of an annual limit of $1.0 million after December 31, 2022 . The IRA 2022 did not impact the Company’s current year tax provision or the Company’s financial statements. The income tax provision consists of the following for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023: Schedule of Income Tax Provision 2024 2023 Six Months Ended September 30 2024 2023 Current income tax expense: Federal $ 51,692 $ - State 46,986 46,164 Total current income tax expense 98,678 46,164 Deferred income tax expense: Federal 119,661 149,862 State - - Total deferred income tax expense 119,661 149,862 Total income tax expense: $ 218,339 $ 196,026 Page 10 Federal income tax for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $ 171,353 . Federal income tax for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 149,862 . The following table summarizes our income tax expense and effective income tax rate for the six months ended September 30 follows: Schedule of Reconciliation of Provision for Income Taxes 2024 2023 Income tax expense $ 218,339 $ 196,026 Effective income tax rate (1) 26.4 % 21.1 % (1) The federal statutory rate was 21 % for three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Total income tax expense from continuing operations for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to pre-tax income primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal benefit, and the impact of permanent differences between book and taxable income. 8. Related Party Transactions Related party transactions for the Company primarily relate to shared office expenditures in addition to administrative and operating expenses paid on behalf of the principal stockholder. The total billed to and reimbursed by the stockholder for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 1,250 and $ 8,612 , respectively. The total billed to and reimbursed by the stockholder for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 5,288 and $ 17,994 , respectively. The principal stockholder pays for his share of the lease amount for the shared office space directly to the lessor. Amounts paid by the principal stockholder directly to the lessor for the three months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $ 2,994 and $ 3,893 , respectively. Amounts paid by the principal stockholder directly to the lessor for the six months ending September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $ 6,887 and $ 7,786 , respectively. 9. Income Per Common Share The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Schedule of Reconciliation of Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) Per Share 2024 2023 2024 2023 Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net income $ 317,198 $ 269,433 $ 608,237 $ 735,047 Shares outstanding: Weighted avg. shares outstanding – basic 2,073,696 2,122,336 2,082,194 2,129,213 Effect of assumed exercise of dilutive stock options 44,108 52,377 44,371 49,506 Weighted avg. shares outstanding – dilutive 2,117,804 2,174,713 2,126,565 2,178,719 Income per common share: Basic $ 0.15 $ 0.13 $ 0.29 $ 0.35 Diluted $ 0.15 $ 0.12 $ 0.29 $ 0.34 For the three months ended September 30, 2024, 61,125 shares relating to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net income because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, 60,500 shares relating to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net income because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $ 15.34 at September 30, 2024. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, 63,000 shares relating to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net income because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $ 15.32 at September 30, 2023. 10. Stockholders’ Equity In April 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the use of up to $ 1,000,000 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.50 , for the treasury account. This program does not have an expiration date and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time by the board of directors. Under the repurchase program, shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time through open market purchases or other transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases will be subject to the availability of stock, prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the stock, our financial performance and other conditions. Repurchases may also be made from time-to-time in connection with the settlement our share-based compensation awards. Repurchases will be funded from cash flow. On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”). The IRA 2022, among other tax provisions, establishes a 1 % excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for stock repurchases in excess of an annual limit of $1,000,000 after December 31, 2022 .

Historically, we have funded our operations, acquisitions, exploration and development expenditures from cash generated by operating activities, bank borrowings, sales of non-core properties and issuance of common stock. Our primary financial resource is our base of oil and gas reserves. We have pledged our producing oil and gas properties to secure our credit facility. We do not have any delivery commitments to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of our oil and gas under any existing contract or agreement. Our long-term strategy is on increasing profit margins while concentrating on obtaining reserves with low-cost operations by acquiring and developing oil and gas properties with potential for long-lived production. We focus our efforts on the acquisition of royalty and working interests in non-operated properties in areas with significant development potential. At September 30, 2024, we had working capital of $1,974,033 compared to working capital of $3,259,200 at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1,285,167 for the reasons set forth below. Cash Flows Changes in the net funds provided by or (used in) each of our operating, investing and financing activities are set forth in the table below: For the Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 Change Net cash provided by operating activities $ 2,006,405 $ 2,430,364 $ (423,959 ) Net cash used in investing activities $ (2,066,957 ) $ (1,544,299 ) $ 522,658 Net cash used in financing activities $ (834,575 ) $ (536,644 ) $ 297,931 Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities. Cash flow from operating activities is primarily derived from the production of our crude oil and natural gas reserves and changes in the balances of non-cash accounts, receivables, payables or other non-energy property asset account balances. Cash flow provided by our operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $2,006,405 in comparison to $2,430,364 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease of $423,959 in our cash flow operating activities consisted of an increase in our non-cash expenses of $216,282; a decrease in our accounts receivable of $483,411; a decrease of $20,176 in our accounts payable and accrued expenses; and, a decrease in our net income of $126,810. Variations in cash flow from operating activities may impact our level of exploration and development expenditures. Our expenditures in operating activities consist primarily of drilling expenses, production expenses and engineering services. Our expenses also consist of employee compensation, accounting, insurance and other general and administrative expenses that we have incurred in order to address normal and necessary business activities of a public company in the crude oil and natural gas production industry. Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities. Cash flow from investing activities is derived from changes in oil and gas property balances. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, we had net cash of $2,066,957 used for additions to oil and gas properties compared to $1,544,299 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities. Cash flow from financing activities is derived from our changes in long-term debt and in equity account balances. Net cash flow used in our financing activities was $834,575 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to cash flow provided by our financing activities of $536,644 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, we expended $209,000 to pay the special dividend and $703,216 to purchase 57,766 shares of our stock for the treasury account and received $77,641 from the exercise of stock options. Accordingly, net cash decreased $895,127, leaving cash and cash equivalents on hand of $1,578,357 as of September 30, 2024. Page 13 Oil and Natural Gas Property Development New Participations in Fiscal 2025. The Company currently plans to participate in the drilling and completion of 30 horizontal wells at an estimated cost of approximately $2,000,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. Twenty-six of these wells are in the Delaware Basin located in the western portion of the Permian Basin in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico. The remaining 4 wells are in Reagan County, Texas. In April 2024, Mexco expended approximately $80,000 to participate in the drilling of five horizontal wells in the Bone Spring formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico. Subsequently, in October 2024, the Company expended approximately $127,000 to complete these wells. During the first six months of fiscal 2025, Mexco expended approximately $293,000 to drill and complete four horizontal wells in the Wolfcamp Sand formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico. In October 2022, the Company made an approximately 2% equity investment commitment in a limited liability company amounting to $2,000,000 of which $1,200,000 has been funded as of September 30, 2024. The limited liability company is capitalized at approximately $100 million to purchase mineral interests in the Utica and Marcellus areas in the state of Ohio. To date, this LLC has returned $137,076 or 11% of the total investment. Completion of Wells Drilled in Fiscal 2024. The Company expended approximately $300,000 for the completion of 19 horizontal wells in which the Company participated during fiscal 2024. The Company expended approximately $107,000 for the completion costs of two horizontal wells in the Bone Spring Sand formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico that the Company participated in drilling during fiscal 2024. Mexco’s working interest in these wells is .53%. In July 2024, these wells were completed with initial average production rates of 1,402 barrels of oil, 2,009 barrels of water and 2,168,000 cubic feet of gas per day, or 1,763 BOE per day. Five horizontal wells in the Bone Spring Sand formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico in which the Company participated during fiscal 2024 were completed in April 2024 with initial average production rates of 732 barrels of oil, 1,481 barrels of water and 657,000 cubic feet of gas per day, or 842 of oil equivalent per day. Mexco’s working interest in these wells is approximately 1.16%. A horizontal well in the Penn Shale formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico was completed in May 2024 with the initial production rate of 964 barrels of oil, 2,441 barrels of water and 626,000 cubic feet of gas per day, or 1,068 of oil equivalent per day. Mexco’s working interest in this well is .165%. The Company expended approximately $207,000 for the completion costs of four horizontial wells in the Bone Spring Sand formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico that the Company participated in drilling during fiscal 2024. Mexco’s working interest in these wells is .45%. Subsequently, in October 2024, these wells were completed with initial average production rates of 893 barrels of oil, 2,990 barrels of water and 1,161,000 cubic feet of gas per day, or 1,087 BOE per day. Acquisitions. In April 2024, the Company acquired royalty interests in 21 producing wells operated by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and Cimarex Energy Company and located in Reeves County, Texas for a purchase price of $158,000. In August 2024, the Company acquired royalty interests in 6 producing wells operated by Marathon Oil and located in Karnes County, Texas for a purchase price of $50,000; royalty interests in 15 producing wells operated by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and located in Weld County, Colorado for a purchase price of $118,000; and, royalty interests in approximately 250 producing wells operated by Samson Exploration, EOG Resources and others in Laramie County, Wyoming and Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado for a purchase price of $483,000. All of these acquisitions were effective September 1, 2024. In September 2024, the Company acquired royalty interests in 20 producing wells operated by Marathon Oil and Murphy Exploration and located in Karnes County, Texas for a purchase price of $90,000 and effective August 1, 2024. We are participating in other projects and are reviewing projects in which we may participate. The cost of such projects would be funded, to the extent possible, from existing cash balances and cash flow from operations. The remainder may be funded through borrowings on the credit facility and, if appropriate, sales of non-core properties. Page 14 Crude oil and natural gas prices generally remained volatile during the last year. The volatility of the energy markets makes it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. For example, in the last twelve months, the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) posted price for crude oil has ranged from a low of $61.73 per bbl in September 2024 to a high of $86.77 per bbl in October 2023. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) for natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.25 per MMBtu in March 2024 to a high of $3.34 per MMBtu in October 2023. On September 30, 2024, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $64.15 and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas was $2.65 per MMBtu. See Results of Operations below for realized prices. Pipeline capacity constraints and maintenance in the Permian Basin area has contributed to a wider difference between the WaHa Hub and the Henry Hub and at times prices were negative. Contractual Obligations. We have no off-balance sheet debt or unrecorded obligations and have not guaranteed the debt of any other party. The following table summarizes our future payments we are obligated to make based on agreements in place as of September 30, 2024: Payments due in: Total less than 1 year 1 - 3 years over 3 years Contractual obligations: Leases (1) $ 170,907 $ 60,320 $ 110,587 $ - (1) The lease amount represents the monthly rent amount for our principal office space in Midland, Texas under a 36-month lease agreement expiring July 31, 2027. Of this total obligation for the remainder of the lease, our majority shareholder will pay $10,175 less than 1 year and $18,354 1-3 years for his portion of the shared office space. Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2023. There was net income of $317,198 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to net income of $269,433 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. This was a result of an increase in oil and gas revenues partially offset by an increase in operating expense that is further explained below. Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $1,695,853 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a 23% increase from $1,380,710 for the same period of fiscal 2024. This resulted from an increase in oil and gas production offset by a decrease in oil and gas prices. The decrease in the natural gas price was, in part, due to temporary pipeline constraints on certain properties and at certain times, prices were negative. The following table sets forth our oil and natural gas revenues, production quantities and average prices received during the three months ended September 30: 2024 2023 % Difference Oil: Revenue $ 1,521,618 $ 1,099,806 38.4 % Volume (bbls) 20,325 13,661 48.8 % Average Price (per bbl) $ 74.86 $ 80.51 (7.0 %) Gas: Revenue $ 174,235 $ 280,904 (38.0 %) Volume (mcf) 133,984 108,087 24.0 % Average Price (per mcf) $ 1.30 $ 2.60 (50.0 %) Production and exploration. Production costs were $413,405 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a 5% increase from $392,674 for the same period of fiscal 2024. This is the result of an increase in production taxes and marketing charges as a result of the increase in oil revenues and an increase in lease operating expense on new wells in which we own a working interest. Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $584,288 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a 53% increase from $382,180 for the same period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to a an increase in the full cost pool amortization base, an increase in oil and gas production and a decrease in gas reserves partially offset by an increase in oil reserves. Page 15 General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $334,525 for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, a 9% increase from $305,543 for the same period of fiscal 2024. This was primarily due to an increase in accounting fees and contract services. Income taxes. Federal income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $84,833. Federal income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $61,179. State income tax was $26,920 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a 102% increase from $13,346 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to the increase in oil and natural gas sales in the State of New Mexico and the acquired properties in the State of Colorado. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 26% and 22%, respectively. Results of Operations – Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2023. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, there was net income of $608,237 compared to net income of $735,047 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. This was a result of an increase in operating revenues partially offset by an increase in operating expenses that is further explained below. Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $3,383,909 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, a 9% increase from $3,095,800 for the same period of fiscal 2024. This resulted from an increase in oil and gas production and an increase in oil prices partially offset by a decrease gas prices. The decrease in the natural gas price was, in part, due to temporary pipeline constraints on certain properties and at certain times, prices were negative. The following table sets forth our oil and natural gas revenues, production quantities and average prices received during the six months ended September 30: 2024 2023 % Difference Oil: Revenue $ 3,031,922 $ 2,529,484 19.9 % Volume (bbls) 39,234 33,189 18.2 % Average Price (per bbl) $ 77.28 $ 76.21 1.4 % Gas: Revenue $ 351,987 $ 566,316 (37.8 %) Volume (mcf) 270,291 249,665 8.3 % Average Price (per mcf) $ 1.30 $ 2.27 (42.7 %) Production and exploration. Production costs were $850,825 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, a 15% increase from $742,081 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. This is the result of an increase in production taxes and marketing charges as a result of the increase in oil and gas revenues and an increase in lease operating expense on new wells in which we own an interest. Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $1,123,985 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, a 29% increase from $868,366 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in the full cost pool amortization base, an increase in oil and gas production, decrease in gas reserves partially offset by an increase in oil reserves. General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $701,570 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, a 9% increase from $646,512 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily due to an increase in accounting fess and contract and engineering services. Income taxes. Federal income tax for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $171,353. Federal income tax for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was $149,862. State income tax was $46,986 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, a 2% increase from $46,164 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 due to the increase in oil and natural gas sales in the states that have state income tax. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 26% and 21%, respectively. Page 16 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The primary source of market risk for us includes fluctuations in commodity prices. All of our financial instruments are for purposes other than trading. Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss as a result of nonperformance by other parties of their contractual obligations. Our primary credit risk is related to oil and gas production sold to various purchasers and the receivables are generally not collateralized. At September 30, 2024, our largest credit risk associated with any single purchaser was $529,614 or 58% of our total oil and gas receivables. We have not experienced any significant credit losses. Energy Price Risk . Our most significant market risk is the pricing applicable to our crude oil and natural gas production. Our financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. Pricing for oil and natural gas production has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the future. Pipeline capacity constraints and maintenance in the Permian Basin area has contributed to a wider difference between the WaHa Hub and the Henry Hub and at times prices were negative. Factors that can cause price fluctuations include the level of global demand for petroleum products, foreign and domestic supply of oil and gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by oil-exporting countries, weather conditions, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall political and economic conditions in oil producing and consuming countries. For example, in the last twelve months, the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) posted price for crude oil has ranged from a low of $61.73 per bbl in September 2024 to a high of $86.77 per bbl in October 2023. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) for natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.25 per MMBtu in March 2024 to a high of $3.34 per MMBtu in October 2023. On September 30, 2024, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $64.15 and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas was $2.65 per MMBtu. See Results of Operations above for the Company’s realized prices during the three and six months. Declines in oil and natural gas prices will materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to obtain financing and operating results. Changes in oil and gas prices impact both estimated future net revenue and the estimated quantity of proved reserves. Any reduction in reserves, including reductions due to price fluctuations, can reduce the borrowing base under our credit facility and adversely affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to obtain additional capital for our acquisition, exploration and development activities. In addition, a noncash write-down of our oil and gas properties could be required under full cost accounting rules if prices declined significantly, even if it is only for a short period of time. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of crude oil and natural gas that can be produced economically. Thus, we may experience material increases or decreases in reserve quantities solely as a result of price changes and not as a result of drilling or well performance. Similarly, any improvements in oil and gas prices can have a favorable impact on our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources. Oil and natural gas prices do not necessarily fluctuate in direct relationship to each other. If the average oil price had increased or decreased by ten dollars per barrel for the first six months of fiscal 2025, our operating revenues would have increased or decreased by $392,340. If the average gas price had increased or decreased by one dollar per mcf for the first six months of fiscal 2025, our operating revenues would have increased or decreased by $270,291. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Page 17 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings We may, from time to time, be a party to various proceedings and claims incidental to our business. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to these proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as a whole or on our liquidity, capital resources or future results of operations.
